Nakheel hosts a limited-edition, Palm Jebel Ali-inspired brunch at Summersalt Beach Club
Dubai-based developer Nakheel dipped its toes into the culinary world with a limited edition brunch called 'A Taste of Inspiration'.
An invite-only, limited-edition brunch inspired by Palm Jebel Ali took place at Summersalt Beach Club last weekend (date TBC). It brought together some of the city's top real estate brokers, customers and influencers over a picture-perfect dining experience.
The event brought the developer's vision for the future to life through an immersive culinary experience that clearly reflected their passion for shaping the neighbourhood's culture and community.
The curated menu by Summersalt's head chef, Hernan Ruiz, was designed to reflect the essence and spirit of Palm Jebel Ali.
Each dish was meticulously crafted with exquisite flavours, unique textures and a presentation inspired by landscapes and natural elements, turning the story of the islands into a sensory journey.
Techniques like espumas, foams and slow-cooking were used to bring the environment to life on the plate.
Take the black cod, for example, it was layered to represent land, sea and growth. Or the lobster ceviche, a refreshing nod to the coastal breeze. Even the grilled palm heart was symbolic, representing the very core of the island landscape.
Not to mention, Summersalt Beach Club, with its stunning setting, made for the perfect backdrop where conversations around culture and creativity flowed just as easily as the drinks.
While this was only a one-off edition (for now), it definitely made its mark – leaving guests with a lasting impression that lingered well beyond dessert.

Real Madrid agree deal for River Plate teenager Mastantuono
BUENOS AIRES, June 5 (Reuters) - Real Madrid have agreed to sign River Plate's young forward Franco Mastantuono for an initial fee of about $45 million, a spokesman for the Argentine club told Reuters on Thursday. The 17-year-old Mastantuono made his debut for River in January 2024 and is widely regarded by the local media as the latest prodigy to emerge from Argentine football. A talented left-footed finisher, he established himself as a starter under coach Marcelo Gallardo and soon became a key part of the Buenos Aires-based team. "The sale is settled, in the final talks it remains to agree on some details," a club source told Reuters, who gave no further information about the transfer. Mastantuono had been linked to other big European clubs such as Manchester United and Paris St Germain after attracting attention with a stunning free kick in River Plate's Superclasico win over Boca Juniors in April. River intend to keep the attacking midfielder on loan at the club until December to complete their Copa Libertadores campaign, according to local press reports. Argentina manager Lionel Scaloni recently called up Mastantuono for the first time for matches against Chile and Colombia in the South American qualifiers. He could become the youngest player to make his senior debut for Argentina.

Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex
Russell Martin's partner Lucy Pinder is former glamour model and is friends with Gary Lineker and his ex The former model will be cheering on her partner at Ibrox next season Martin and Pinder went public with their relationship last year (Image: Instagram: @pinderpix ) Russell Martin has been appointed as the new manager of Rangers, with the former Swansea City and Southampton boss signing a three-year deal to take charge at Ibrox. The 39-year-old former Scotland defender had a short stint at the club as a player in 2018 and has now returned as part of a new era for the Scottish giants, who were taken over by a US-based consortium last week. Martin is said to have been the "standout choice" to turn around the fortunes of the team after a disappointing season saw them end the campaign with no silverware. Joining the manager in Glasgow will be his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, with the couple going public with their relationship last year having dated since August. Pinder will likely be a familiar face to many football fans, having risen to international fame for her work in men's magazines - including FHM, Loaded and Nuts - during the 2000s. She was named as one of FHM's '100 Sexiest Women in the World' on three occasions, while she later moved into TV work, landing a presenting role on Nuts TV and appearing on reality shows including Celebrity Big Brother and Hell's Kitchen. The 41-year-old has also tried her hand at acting, starring in comedy horror film Strippers vs Werewolves in 2012 before appearing in made-for-television disaster flick Sharknado 5: Global Swarming five years later. Article continues below While she didn't quite make it to Hollywood herself, Pinder was previously rumoured to be dating Captain America star Chris Evans, having been seen enjoying a daytime date with the actor in January 2015. However, she has now found love with former Wycombe Wanderers and Norwich City defender Martin, who was sacked as Southampton manager in December. With Pinder a die-hard Saints fan, the couple were said to have "grown closer" during the manager's time at St Mary's, following his split from his wife Jasmine - with whom he shares three children - last year. The former glamour model revealed their relationship in August, sharing a photo of her and Martin in his hometown of Brighton - where he was receiving an honorary degree - on Instagram. When their relationship was revealed, a source told The Sun: "They're a match made in heaven - or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other." Pinder is also close friends with Cardiff-born model and Gary Lineker's ex-wife Danielle Bux, with the two women recently sharing photos of a night of wine and games that was also attended by Martin and the former Match of the Day host. Bux - who was married to Lineker between 2009 and 2016 but has remained close friends with him since - posted pictures on Instagram of the evening with Lineker's son Harry, 31 and her daughter Ella Willis also in attendance. Lineker previously opened up about his relationship with Bux, telling The Mirror that they split up due to the fact that he didn't want any more children. "Danielle and I are best mates, we still speak three times a day, we text all the time," he said. "When she comes to London she stays with me, and when I go to Los Angeles I see her. Article continues below "It might be unusual and people might go, 'That's weird' but, frankly, I don't care. What is normal? Is it better to get divorced and end up fighting, screaming and shouting? Or is it better to get on if you can?"

Rangers boss Russell Martin's eye-catching girlfriend is page 3 icon Lucy Pinder
Russell Martin has been named as Rangers' new head coach and the former Southampton boss could be bringing his girlfriend, former glamour model Lucy Pinder, to Glasgow Rangers have finally ended their long search for a manager by announcing the appointment of Russell Martin. The Scottish giants sacked Philippe Clement in February, with Martin now stepping in as head coach in the hope of restoring the club to glory. Martin, who had a short loan spell at Rangers as a player, signed a three-year contract on Thursday to kick off a fresh era at Ibrox. It comes just after a US-based consortium, led by Andrew Cavenagh and the investment arm of the San Francisco 49ers, completed a takeover of the club last week. The former Scotland defender, 39, last managed Southampton, who he guided to Premier League promotion before being sacked last December. And as he looks towards what he'll hope will be a more successful spell, he could be joined in Glasgow by his glamorous partner - former lads' mag favourite Lucy Pinder. He was previously married to bodybuilder Jasmine Martin, with whom he has three children, but they parted ways in 2023. Russell and Lucy went public with their relationship last August as she shared a sweet snap of them in Brighton, where Martin was receiving an honorary degree in his hometown. And via the Record, here's everything we know about the latest Rangers WAG... Glamour model Pinder was a regular in magazines such as FHM, Nuts and Loaded in the early 2000s. She appeared topless in Nuts Magazine and was listed on FHM's "100 Sexiest Women in the World" on several occasions. In 2007 she placed 92nd, in 2006 she was 35th and in 2005, she made the top 20, placing 16th. Also in 2007, Ralph Magazine honoured her with the title of "the best boobs in the world". Pinder appeared as a contestant on a 'WAGS and Glamour Girls" edition of The Weakest Link in September 2007. TV and film She entered the Celebrity Big Brother house in 2009 along with stars such as Ulrika Johnson, La Toya Jackson, Tina Malone, Tommy Sheridan and Coolio. But she was the first to be evicted on day eight. Pinder became well known among football fans too, regularly joining the crew on Soccer AM while wearing her Southampton top. In 2012, she traded reality TV for movies and tried her hand at acting, playing her first supporting role in the comedy horror Strippers vs Werewolves. She starred in Age of Kill alongside Martin Kemp in 2015, as well as supernatural thrillers Suburban Fairytale and Fanged Up. Pinder even ventured into Bollywood films with an appearance in the action drama film Waarrior Savitri in 2016. The glamour model then secured a part in American film Sharknado 5: Global Swarming in 2017. Her most recent gig came in 2023, where she played Louise in Nightmare on 34th Street. Relationship history Back in 2016, reports claimed she was seeing Captain America actor Chris Evans, with rumours swirling that she was totally "smitten" with the Marvel star. Though their relationship was never officially confirmed, Pinder and Evans were spotted enjoying a Disneyland day out in January 2015. She was also romantically linked to 'Vikings' star Elijah Rowen in 2019 after being spotted looking cosy together at the British Photography Awards. In August this year, Pinder shared snaps of her and current boyfriend Martin in Brighton together on her Instagram story, confirming their relationship. She's a diehard Southampton fan and the pair are said to be a match made in heaven. The Sun reported a source to have said at the time: "She is a regular face at Southampton functions and is always around the club as a diehard fan. Over the weeks and months their friendship grew into something more. They're a match made in heaven — or at least in Southampton. They're mad for each other.' Podcast In 2019, Pinder launched 'Smashing Sundays', a podcast she co-hosts with her flatmate Beth Granville. The podcast is described as: "Lucy Pinder (model and actress) and Beth Granville (comedy writer and actress), talk about the quintessential British Sunday. "Finding themselves single in their mid 30s after decade long relationships meant the end of the weekend had the potential to be rather a lonely affair; until they made the decision to move in together and make their Sunday's smashing. "With a different guest comedian, actor or musician each week, they discuss their most awful and most smashing Sunday's to date: they range from staying in bed all day eating toast wondering what on earth to do with the rest of their lives to dating disasters to going to a sleepover at Hampton Court getting merry on mead." However, while the podcast is still listed in Pinder's Instagram bio, there haven't been any new episodes released since 2022.
